No, I believe you.

I thought it was into the 2007 year -- which I learned here before I bought the car, and upon which my purchase decision was largely based. Regardless, my engine is in the safe zone, with serial 30 943712.

One huge thing I forgot to include were the new front axles -- done the same week as the engine mounts last July.

When they were initially installed, the car would vibrate badly but that gradually got better, to the point of not really noticing. Then the boot on the driver side began to tear so it was replaced under warranty this past March, so the vibration returned. They are likely contributing 70% of overall vibration when stopped in D or R. Car is relatively still and quiet in P or N.
